My mother has lied to my brothers and sister because she likes to play the victim. I told my mother that I couldn't visit her because for 1 Im caring full time for my handicapped adult son and Im broke. She has came to my house once this year, me I have visited her 12 times. She has lied to my siblings about me, saying I don't call her, I don't visit her, etc. They believe her because she is very manipulative, and now my sister is slandering my character and telling everyone Im mean and have issues. Now my whole family is against me because of my sister and mothers lies. I told them I will not be around during the holidays because Im tired of being ridiculed over everything. Now my mother is going ballistic and saying that Im killing her and I need to forgive. Im so sick with panic attacks and complete sadness. My sister has even lied to my precious nieces about me and they wont speak to me. Is this love?

Call your family and tell them the truth - that you have been visiting your mom and you don't why she and your sister are making up all these lies. You are also taking care of your son. Instead of isolating yourself during the holidays show up and tell the truth. If the rest of the family sees you socializing, they will believe you instead the the lies.

This is just another example of why some people should not be mothers.

First of all I'm sorry, that sounds terrible. Honestly I would suggest you starting by putting your son and yourself first. Try to relax and be calm about everything. Then talk to your mother and sister and calmly tell them how you're feeling about this. I have a friend whose mother is EXACTLY the same way and one of the biggest problems with them is that they can't communicate calmly.

Family will be family. I thought for a minute I was reading a story about my family.
Family fights hard but they love hard. At the end of the day you love them and you have to put up with their crazy behinds.
